If you’re like me, when you think of plums, you probably think of that nursery rhyme about Little Jack Horner in the corner. But recently I've developed a whole new appreciation for plums (prunus domestica) , especially for the rich and nourishing plum kernel oil, which is pressed from the kernels of the fruit and is This oil is an important ingredient in our Almond Facial Care line. In fact, plums and almonds belong in the same family. The taste of plum kernel oil closely resembles that of marzipan (almond paste), and it's rich in antioxidants, unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E....

It is beautiful outside! Almost everything is now in bloom, and the trees are showing off their brand-new, delicate leaves. It's the season of renewal, and most of us breathe in deeply, relieved that winter is behind us. However, not everyone shares this enthusiasm. Spring can also mean the beginning of allergy season. It is estimated that up to 20 percent of the adult population suffers from seasonal allergies, and the incidence in children is rising. With warm weather expected, the pollen forecast for Palisades, NY, where our office is located, is predicted to be very high. Already we've had a large number of inquiries about homeopathic treatments...

This month we had a contest on Facebook where we asked you—our fans and community—to tell us how you planned to nurture the earth in celebration of Earth Day. Here are some of our favorite posts! Julie Kenny For birthdays, I`m going to give my family and friends the gift of saving the earth...a donation to their favorite environmental group, foundation, or organization. Jennifer McBride From now on when I walk the neighborhood with my son, we are going to pick up trash along the way. I am also going to try my best to not use non-biodegradable disposable items and make an effort to use more reusable items. Nicky Russell I’m going to A) Recycle as...

We Magazine’s Spring/Summer 2010 Cover Shoot We wanted to share with you the video that was made during our latest “we” magazine cover shoot, featuring our “You Could be we” contest winner, Brighid Kennedy! Brighid, who hails from the Pacific Northwest, came to New York for our shoot in March and truly graced us with her beautiful warm smile (courtesy of Salt Toothpaste, one of her favorite Weleda products!) and her good nature. While on the set, she took a break to tell us what keeps her glowing. “I love using Weleda products because they are all natural, so my skin not only feels good afterward, but I feel good knowing the products are...

It’s the time of year to draw back your curtains, throw open the windows, let the fresh air in, and … get out the mop for the annual spring clean we all know so well. Although at Weleda, we don’t care so much about whether your baseboards are sparkling or your pillows are fluffed. What matters to us is whether your beauty cabinet is clean and healthy for you—meaning free of conventional personal care products that contain potentially toxic chemical ingredients. Mounting evidence shows that many of these substances, including triclosan, phthalates and parabens, can alter our bodies’ healthy functioning and seep into the environment. It’s the potential...

A very happy and beautiful EARTH DAY to you! While it’s important to take a day to celebrate the earth and remind ourselves to be good to the planet, it’s even more important that we continue our efforts every day of the year. We strive to do that here at Weleda. Our company is inherently connected to the earth, founded on the belief that our body, soul and spirit are intrinsically linked to our world, and we try to keep that in mind and honor the earth however and whenever we can. We know that we would never be able to bring you such wonderful products if it weren’t for the beauty and power of nature, so it’s especially important to us that we...

I came down with the worst case of eczema in my life about 2 and a halfs years ago. My entire body looked like I was a burn victim. I'm still recovering. Yeast caused my ezcema. I practically bathed in coconut oil and swear by quality versions of it. For my lips coconut oil didn't work. They were swollen and blackened by the ezcema. The ONLY THING that HEALED MY LIPS WAS THIS BALM. I use it now for prevention. Please make a hand and or body version. It saved my skin naturally. I stopped ALL STEROIDS because they started to thin my skin and wanted to heal with natural products . I truly believe in this product. Thank you.

This product is unbelievable. While shopping at Sprouts, I often check the little basket for free samples because they prove to be excellent. This little sample pack is quintessential for dry feet, hands, elbows, etc. Immediately, I instructed my son to drop by the store and purchase the 2.5 oz today. On October 2, 2016, a tall and very distinguished gentleman sat beside me in Sunday school asking, "Do you have any lotion in my purse." He looked like a professional basketball player, but I am too polished to asked a gentleman of his professional status not knowing for sure. He was far too handsome and dapper. I really desired to tell him, "Hold on, I'll be right back with that lotion." A lady walked in taking a seat to my immediate left; I asked her for her lotion and gave it to him. I hope that count for something. [Smile] Anyway, I left my lotion in the car by mistake. I wished I had a few packs of these samples to give him one. He now frequent my Sunday school class and I am simply mesmerized at his presence. You should hear the sound of his voice. You know what will be in my purse from now on. Yes, "Weleda Skin Food!" If I should marry him [smiling], it shall, likewise be in our estate in each lavatory especially in the guests lavatory. Excellent product!
